A beautiful Island of Camiguin,when I was a child I've always dreaming that one day ,I will be able to go to that place to see the beauty of nature and to see in my own eyes the best spots in that Island.I never thought I will discover different things in my own that I've came to realized how it affects my point of view in life regarding or in terms of supertitious belief I think...
I was nine years old when my mother decided to gave birth to my younger brother in Sagay,Camiguin.I felt so happy and so excited when I knew that she wants me to be with her,they just don't know how long I've waited to to go to that place.My mother had an elder sister who is married already and stayed there for good.My mother ask favor to my auntie to take care of her after giving birth because my mother knew that my aunt would never leave by her side,I can see how much my aunt love my mother and I admire them for that kind of love being sisters.During my first night in my auntie's house I can't wait to see the sunrise for I know that my cousin will bring us to the spring and have a picnic there,that is the promise I can't forget where once they visited us here in our place.
My aunt introduce us to her inlaws especially to her mother in law,they were so nice to us.They can't hide the feeling of wanting a grandaughter like me which they never had.My auntie's husband had only one sister,they are nine in the Kionisala family.There was just two brothers chose to stay behind to be with their parents,the husband of my aunt and his youngest brother who still single.
I can't remember the feeling of getting bored in that place for two months staying there for it was during summer.One night, my aunt didn't allow me to talk to that lady,that is the first time she noticed me talking to someone whom I didn't know yet,their house was next to my auntie's house.I keep on asking my aunt "why"she won"t allow me to talk to that lady even to her family.How many days passed by I am not contented if she won't tell me what is going on.I want to know the reason,untill one day she finally told me the reason.
But before that my cousin who was eight years old that time take us to the spring,it was cold as the ice water,we brought food for our lunch,we enjoyed a lot there,the view was so nice,may be because I'm a nature lover also.We had fun,no regrets at all even its quit far from home.We spent almost whole day in spring.
One afternoon,while my mother was sleeping with my little baby brother,my aunt and I got the chance to talked alone.She told me the story about the secret of her inlaws.I was curios,and felt a little bit scared,my aunt said that her father in-law had a twin who happened to be a snake.The grandmother of her mother in-law didn't knew it first,but later on her husband decided to let her knew because there is a time she woke up she saw the baby snake sucking her breast for milk,she scream!she felt so scared and can't believed what was happening that moment.
Many days had past but still she can't accept the fact,that her son had a twin brother which is a snake.One time,when the baby snake came home,she talk to the baby snake and beg him sincerely that,he needs to leave them and live by himself alone because the mother said that everytime she saw the baby snake she felt scared all the time and felt like she is dying because of nervous.Without any complain the baby snake granted his mother's wish.
Five years had past where I didin't able to hear news fro my aunt in Camiguin.One day we receive a lettet,she told us that his grandfaher was already died,so my mother and I went to Camiguin to attend the burial.My aunt said that when her father in-law died they saw a skin of snake near their house,she told me thet,they arepretty much sure that it was the twin snake brother of her father in-law who died already.
I felt sad about what happened to their family,but I just don't know what are the reasons behind.Only God can answer. We like it or not,this is what we called life.We have to deal with it and ask more wisdom to understand and to accept the things that we cannot change.
